revlog: don't include trailing nullrev in revlog.revs(stop=len(revlog))

This was an odd side effect of the nullid entry that's in the
index. The existing callers (mostly repair.py) seem to have handled it
fine. It doesn't seem intentional, and it's pretty surprising, so
let's remove that surprise.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
